[ebi-chi]

Final 4!?

We are shocked and excited to have made it this far in the WoL Tourney! I submitted Chuchu to this tourney not honestly sure how well they'd do, but I'm so happy that they've won the hearts of others as well!

Okay so Chuchu... can't exactly make you a drink like Naru can. For reasons...

(Yes Chuchu is in the picture)

But we do want to offer our sincerest and utmost thanks to those who have supported them throughout the tourney so far! So... Thank you!!!

Leojichu prompt: an au where Phichit, Guang Hong, and Leo are all college students, Phichit is a semi-famous youtuber, and he invites Guang Hong and Leo to join him on his channel to answer submitted questions about polyamory. (Established relationship pls)

Heloves musicals, and he loves entertaining people. A YouTube channelwhere Phichit could gush about musicals and theatre and occasionallyjust random stuff that comes to his mind was inevitable, really.

Theapartment they share isn’t too small, but the lighting is best in theliving room, and the occasional Leo or Guang in the background of avid is inevitable, too.

Phichitdidn’t expect that many subscribers, but he is very pleased that somany people enjoy his rants. Guang and Leo indulge him on the rareoccasions that he asks one of them to join him. Not for long, usuallyjust a ‘come and say hello to my followers’ when one of them happensto walk by, though he has asked Guang to act out scenes with himbefore, and even managed to get Leo to sing Another Day withhim once. Both were very well received by his fans, making Phichithappy and a little proud.

Hecalls them his roommates at first, which isn’t a lie as such, but itfeels wrong, feels dishonest. He isn’t ashamed, but he also doesn’tactually owe his fans details about his private life.

And yetit keeps feeling wrong.

So hetalks about it with Leo and Guang, eventually. Both say they don’tmind being outed to Phichit’s fan base, so he starts to refer to themas 'his boyfriends’.

IntroducesGuang as 'my boyfriend’ in one vid, and Leo as 'my boyfriend’ inanother.

Peoplecatch on of course, some confused about which one is actually hiscurrent boyfriend, others asking, more or less scandalized, ifthey’re actually both his boyfriends.

SoPhichit ends one of his vids by saying, casually:

“Andby the way, yes, you’ve got it right, Guang and Leo are both myboyfriends. And each other’s, too. We’re all in one relationship, andit’s amazing.”

As faras comments on YouTube go, the reaction isn’t too bad, the majorityof his fans is surprisingly supportive. He has a sweet fan base,Phichit realizes happily.

Theyhave lots of questions, though.

Heknows polyamory is something people generally know way too littleabout, and he can’t stop thinking about it. So he brings it up withLeo and Guang, and to his delight, they’re willing to take part in avid.

SoPhichit announces that they’ll do a Q & A, and the questions comelike an avalanche.

They gothrough them together; some keep repeating a lot, some are veryunique, a few are just plain weird. A few are very rude, but theyjust ignore them. It is YouTube after all. Phichit asked his fans tokeep things safe for work, and most of the questions are. Some areslightly racy, but justified, perhaps, and they decide they can maybeanswer one or two of those.

Doingthe vid is a challenge – they keep getting sidetracked, making funof each other, laughing until tears run down their faces, Leo almostfalling off the couch, and eventually getting into a make-out sessionthat has Guang dragging both of his boyfriends into his bedroom for along time.

Phichitsspends a lot of time editing, but he’s finally happy with the vid,and uploads it to his channel, feeling giddy and proud.

Leoinsists that they go out to eat and not check social media until theycome back. He can do that, of course he can. Even though it’s hard.Guang at least is suffering almost as much as he is, but Leo is goodat distracting them both, and they hardly race back up the stairswhen they return.

“Higuys! As promised, I’m not alone today. This vlog is usually aboutmusicals and stuff, so if my private life bores you, sorry! Nomusicals today. This here is Guang Hong, my boyfriend.”

Guangwaves, blushing.

“Hithere.”

“He’llbe big in Hollywood one day, so he’s in his element right now.”

Phichitkissed Guang’s cheek.

“Andthe other guest is Leo. He’s my boyfriend. Too! And Guang’sboyfriend. You people probably know that by now.”

Leogives a slightly awkward grin.

“Howdy,”he says and Guang snorts.

“Eventhough he is an amazing musician and dancer, he’s a littlecamera-shy.” Phichit lets Leo hide his face against his shoulder,patting his hair. “The camera loves him, though.”

“Anyway,this is Polyamory 101, because we couldn’t think of a better title,and we’re happy to answer your most burning questions.”

“Butnot the intrusive ones,” Leo mutters.

“AndLeo isn’t going to strip, either, excelsior69,” Guang says in mockindignation, displaying the offending comment, and Leo groans.

“Unfortunate,I know,” Phichit quips.

“Alrighty,alright,” Leo looks up, face red, but continues: “A seriousquestion for Chuchu’s serious viewers.”

Phichitburies his face in his hands at the mention of his pet name.

“Sothis is a question we got several times – ‘How does one of you dealwith the other two arguing?’”

“Goodquestion,” Guang replies, frowning. “I find it hard not to getinvolved, but if I do it, I’ll inevitably end up picking a side, andthat’s never fair. So I mostly just take a step back and let themwork it out. Even though I hate people arguing. Luckily, we rarelyhave serious fights. On the occasion that these lovable idiots fight,I just go out for a while, do something with friends. They can workit out. I know they can. If they really need my opinion on something,I will give it, and sometimes I can talk them through their feelings,but I admit it can be stressful.”

“Workingthings out before they turn into big fights is an important skill toacquire,” Leo adds seriously.

“Nextquestion: 'How did the three of you get together?'”

Guangscrews up his face.

“Ohboy.” He looks at Phichit, who grins. “Phichit and I both tookLeo’s modern dance class. And we got along really well.”

“Leowas fun. And kinda hot. And Guang was fun, and super cute. I had theoddest crush on both of them after a few lessons, and didn’t know howto deal with that at all. But I was happy to just be around them.”

Phichitlooks at both of them, sharing a small smile, like a secret.

“Wekept in touch after the class was over, and met up a few times. Therewere some other students with us at first, but it always ended upbeing just the three of us in the end.”

“Guangasked me out one time Phichit couldn’t make it,” Leo says softly,and Guang looks over at him, grinning. “And I said yes, because hewas so sweet.”

“Ifelt weird about that, a little sad, but I wasn’t jealous, notreally. They were adorable together. But they still kept asking meout when they should have been going on couples’ dates, and that wasodd.”

“Itwas weird without Phichit. Not the same,” Guang says with a shrug,and Leo nods.

“Definitelyweird.”

“Guangfigured it out, really. We’d been crashing at Leo’s after a nightout, and well, I asked them if they needed some privacy. Guang justlooks at Leo for a long time and then at me, and eventually sayssomething to the effect that he’d rather I stay to watch them makeout.”

“That’snot what I said at all!” Guang squeals, while Leo laughs and leansto one side so much he almost falls off the couch. “Leo! I didn’tsay it like that. I just said that something was missing when I wasalone with Leo without Phichit.”

“Notexactly how I remember it,” Phichit replies.

There’sa definite cut at this point, and the next moment the three of themare sitting on the couch, trying and failing to keep straight faces.

“Itwas a great love story, meant to be, we figured it out eventually.Next question!” Phichit looks over at Leo, who quickly reads:

“’Howdo you find time for a three-way relationship? Isn’t it stressful? Ican’t even manage a monogamous relationship.’”

He nodsslowly.

“I’venever been great at time management, but I believe we did figure itout quite well. In a way, it’s not about the quantity, but thequality of time spent together. I try to be really in the moment whenI’m with Phichit or Guang or both of them.”

“Sap,”Phichit mutters and kisses him quickly.

Guanggrins.

“Andit got a lot easier once we all moved in with each other. We get todivide all the chores among each other, and it leaves a good deal offree time.”

“We’resuper efficient boyfriends!” Phichit proclaims happily.

“’Doyou all share a bedroom?’”

Theyall look at each other.

“Sometimes,”Leo just says, making the other two laugh.

“Sincethe great snoring incident of 2016, Leo sometimes has to sleep on hisown.”

“I’mso sorry,” Leo mutters.

“Weall have our own space, if we need it. Different sleeping patternsand all, but on weekends we’re usually in the same bedroom,”Phichit says with a smirk.

“’Howdo you not get jealous?’” Guang reads out.

“Iget jealous, sometimes. It’s little things, mostly, and depends a loton my general mood and not on anything Phichit or Guang are doing,actually. What I do is, I reflect on my feelings, on what it is thatI need that moment, and then I just tell them how I feel. Not as areproach. They’re my feelings, they are real, and pushing them asidegenerally doesn’t help. I try to be as honest as possible, and itmakes me feel too vulnerable at times, but I trust these two.”

Guangswallows hard.

“Shit,I love you so much,” he mutters and grabs Leo’s hand.

Phichitjust smiles at them.

“Communicationis key. It really is. There is no point at all in pouting and beingpassive aggressive and hoping the other or others will figure outthat something is wrong. And I had to learn that, and it’s not alwayseasy. Leo is good at it, I don’t know if he’s always been like thator what wonderful person taught him, but he makes it easier for me tobe honest, and I never feel judged.”

Leo isbright red again by now, and Phichit pinches his cheek gently.

“Same,”Guang says lowly. “I can’t expect them to read my mind, so I tellthem what’s going on inside me. And it gets easier the more often Ido it.”

“Alright,what’s next?”

“’Doyou do everything together? Apart from the obvious stuff, I mean’,”Leo reads.

“Nope.”

“Definitelynot.”

“Wehave shared interests and our own interests. Some things only two ofus like,” Phichit explains.

“Andsometimes one of us needs more alone time than the others,” Guangadds. “That’s cool, too.”

Leonods.

“We’renot keeping tabs on each other or on who is spending how much timewith whom.”

“’Howdo you manage your finances?’”

“Ohmy. Separately, mostly. But again, no tabs. We share rent and otherfixed costs, and we take turns grocery shopping and so on. Sometimesone of us invites the others to something, and when one of us is lowon cash, we can figure things out,” Guang explains.

“’Howlong have you been together?’”

“Oneand a half years, almost!” Phichit proclaims proudly.

“’CanLeo take off his shirt?’”

Guangcracks up at the expression on Leo’s face.

“No,he can’t!”

“That’sonly for the three of us, not Phichit’s fans. Sorry.” Guang grins.

“’Who’susually on top?’” Leo reads out, frowning.

“We’reall on top! On top of the world,” Phichit replies, winking, beforecontinuing with the next question: “‘Why is Guang so cute? Rude.’”

“Sorry,”Guang says, lowering his head in mock contrition.

“’CanI join you guys?’”

“We’refull up, sorry.” Leo shrugs.

“AaandI think that’s enough for now, though if you guys still havequestions, we might do this again. In the meantime, I’ll be screamingabout Matilda in my next video and ranting some about the Wickedmovie. This has been an unusual episode, but still, if you likedthis, like and subscribe and leave a comment – if this gets enoughlikes, maybe Leo will take off his shirt after all.”

“No,he won’t.”

Guangjust bursts into giggles.

In theend, the vid is so popular that they decide to make a channel justfor polyamory 101, updating not as often as Phichit’s vlog, but aboutonce a month, answering question and just being silly, and it getssurprisingly popular quickly.

Leodoesn’t take off his shirt, though. Not in front of the camera,anyway.
